Indonesia Boosts Development of Mini Hydro Power Plants, an Industrial Info Market Brief

Indonesia's state-run utility PT Perusahan Listrik Negara Parsero (PT PLN Parsero) has been heavily reliant on fossil fuel to feed to the country's power plants over the years. As a mitigating measure on environmental hazards and economic implications, it has given higher consideration to the development of mini-hydro power plants. PT PLN Persero is coordinating with independent power producers to develop the plants, which can produce small capacity, but may suffice the country's electricity demand and increase renewable energy's contribution to the country's energy mix.< Br>
